Strawberry Ice Cubes

It's so hot outside. I mean H-O-T!

I made this delicious treat for us to cool down on the 4th of July.

Combine:

1 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

In a saucepan, bring to boil.

Add:

1 pint strawberries

and continue to boil for 5 minutes.

Mash up sugar and fruit mixture (I left mine kind of chunky, but if you wanted a smoother consistency you could puree it).

Place mixture in a ice tray and let freeze for at least 3 hours.

When ice cubes are frozen just add to glass.

And then pour in your lemonade - or any other drink that grabs your fancy.

I used this recipe for the fresh-squeezed lemonade.

The ice cubes gradually melt down and add more strawberry goodness to your glass.

Enjoy!
